This recently dropped in from our Sirian connection:
"Systems (beliefs and other 'matrix'-based implants) are 'adopted' systems, and occur (are adopted) when you accept the old or new codes of said system. They simply re-arrange your 'codes of freedom', which sends fragments of your awareness out from innocence. The attention (outward) holds the (newly tainted) encoded fragments away from their original resting place."

An Essay on the Current State of the Environment, Human Culture and Planetary Life By Devin Alaric Mikles, MD, MD(H), FACP
All of us to a person cherishes and craves direct experience of nature as it is. We are born from and are part of this magnificent planetary life. In spite of our efforts to create an artificial reality apart from nature, it is a rare person who can not appreciate its beauties and a rarer one indeed who does not have the desire to commune with it at some time during their life as a means of seeking a greater inner peace or a deeper understanding of who they are in this world and what their place is in it. It is our privilege not only to live here, but also to be the stewards of this fragile but powerful ecological presence.
It is of interest that in the last 500 or so years, and especially in the last 65 years, that there has been a corresponding and concurrent degradation of culture and environment in our world. In the last 65 years this has been exponentially and dramatically accelerated in its whole as a direct result of our ignorant and sometimes willful misapplication of modern engineering, technological and scientific knowledge. The fact remains that where there are no grasses, no trees and no flowers, no person can capture an image of such either in mind, film, drawing, painting or in poetry, and where ever that happens, for that we will be the poorer. Where ecotopes are damaged, we as a species cannot thrive and continue to create or procreate. Additionally, where there is no preservation of environment, there can be no preservation of culture. For environment and culture are as inexplicably and insolvably intertwined as the Gordian knot. What is the meaning of this interesting concatenation of destruction and what can we, or should we do about it?
Both the gradual and immediate destruction of the world’s environment and cultures are all too startlingly true, and although these are clearly a sad feature of our reality, one must ask the question: in the greater picture of the evolution of humanity, what could be the over arching purpose of a Planetary Logos, or of humanity even from a subconscious point of view as a naturally self-unfolding and self-fulfilling process itself, to allow such events to come to fruition?
To explore this question one must look closely at the history of nations, in particular at the effect that culture has on the world at large, and especially at the growth of consciousness in the current aging generation worldwide - including the effect upon Western culture in general. In historical context, nations and cultures have come and gone in fairly rapid succession on the Earth, so it is not surprising that many of the current ones are undergoing forceful changes toward extinction right before our very eyes. And although to those of us who are compassionate and awake enough to deplore such a tragedy and loss to the glory of the wonderful rainbow pattern of the fabric of the human Spirit, this is not a welcome change, it is in fact a change that appears inevitable at this juncture.
However one very important aspect of this change is that although many cultures and areas of unique and irreplaceable environmental niches have been effectively removed from existence, many cultural remnants still thrive, for example in those refugees that have been relocated [and such has been the case with many indigenous peoples and such ancient cultures as the Tibetan culture]. As well, certain species that have come close to total annihilation have been successfully repopulated. The opportunity that presents itself in this pattern of survival is in the ability of dwindling cultures to create an intact web of culture and environmental stewardship that can survive into the future that they do have; accepting current reality and moving forward toward a future that turns its back on the violent way that these events have come to pass, and focusing instead on the sacred vision of what has been preserved. Nearly every aspect of remnant cultures could be preserved through continual education and practice of the surviving peoples in this way, assuming that the rest of us will support those endeavors. As well, we can continue to support the survival of species through persistent and organized cultural, social and political pressures.
What this opportunity might represent is a true manifestation of a new global consciousness with the potential for cultures being more lightly preserved on the face of the Earth. Accept it or not, the current pressing reality also includes the emerging fact that through our unending and persistent destruction of the web of life on this beautiful planet, we have become an endangered race. Certain surviving displaced cultures such as the Native American cultures and the Tibetan culture have to offer - lessons on a different way of thinking and behaving in relationship to each other; a way of living lightly and nonviolently on this Sacred Planet.
Hopefully, we will live long enough to see some positive changes take shape and reveal themselves more fully, however in the overall scope of things, we who are here now and in the position of responsibility will certainly not live long enough in these forms to see how this plays out in the larger view. The best that we can do as individual sparks of a greater fire of manifesting Spirit, is to recognize the pattern of Sacred Life that is emerging, and by right thoughts, words and actions, engage in fostering those patterns to a greater flowering.
To my mind, our progress towards re-energizing and renewing efforts at preserving and enhancing the complex life of this fragile environment carries with it corresponding responsibility and need for understanding. Coordinating large-scale efforts of many likeminded peoples and organizations that work beyond the scope of governments, but not necessarily in exclusion of them, is needed now at this critical time.
It would be more fruitful to fashion our responses to these events as certain of our enlightened elders have suggested; that is by disengaging from the types of behaviors that existing destructive forces have promulgated in their ambition to rule the lands and isolate power. These crystallizing forces too will pass leaving the marks of their work upon the mind of humanity, and from this we have learned many sad lessons thus far, but we as conscious stewards should strive to leave a mark that has a more laudable ideal associated with it. Perhaps ideals that are founded less on inordinate greed, selfish use and acquisition in exclusion of the needs of the planetary whole. The final questions then are these: What shall we leave here? Can we act in such a fashion so as to produce an organizing force for good and healing? How soon can there be and how strong must be the magnitude of such a response that would alter the face of our common dangling survival toward the positive? Can we redirect the flow of power so as to avoid extinction of cultures and species? Is that possible?
We Need a Revolution
Morality, compassion, decency, and wisdom are the building blocks of all civilizations. These qualities must be cultivated in childhood and sustained through systematic moral education in a supportive social environment so that a more humane world may emerge. We cannot wait for the next generation to make this change; we ourselves must attempt a renewal of basic human values. Hope lies in future generations, but not unless we institute major change on a worldwide scale in our educational systems, now we need a revolution in commitment to universal values. – The Dalai Lama
Press Release: Protests at the Tibetan border For Immediate Release June 19, 2008

EXILE TIBETANS PROTEST AT INDO-TIBET BORDER ON EVE OF TORCH RELAY
Three detained at Shipkila border post after staging protest; 38 others detained in Pooh, Reckong Peo and Rampur Shimla - Two exile Tibetans were detained by Indian border forces at approximately 10:30am today as they attempted to cross the Indian border into Tibet near Shipkila Pass in Himachal Pradesh. With Tibet in view, the two Tibetans staged an iconic protest, raising a Tibetan national flag, calling for an end to China’s occupation, and denouncing China’s plans to take the Olympic torch into Tibet. Chime Youngdung, President of the National Democratic Party of Tibet, aged 33, along with Konchok Yangphel, Public Relations Officer of Tibetan Youth Congress, aged 29, held up Tibetan flags and a banner reading, “Free Tibet Now,” and started marching the last ten kilometers toward Tibet when they were arrested by Indian border forces. Legdup Tsering, 20, who helped document the incident, was also arrested a few hours later.
“We came to demonstrate to China, and to the world, that Tibet belongs to Tibetans and we will never give up in our fight for freedom,” said Chime Youngdung. “We have taken this action today to show our solidarity with our six million Tibetan brothers and sisters who are living under siege and being brutally oppressed by the Chinese authorities.”
The protest at the Indo-Tibet border comes just days before the Chinese authorities plan to take the Olympic torch to Lhasa, the Tibetan capital rocked by protests in March, as well as Gormo and Kokonor, areas of Eastern Tibet’s Amdo province (Chinese: Qinghai province) where a majority of the recent protests occurred. After postponing the Tibet leg and refusing to provide details of the new dates and route, Chinese officials announced on Tuesday that the torch will go to Lhasa on Saturday.
“The Chinese government is using the Olympic torch as a political tool in an attempt to legitimize its rule in Tibet and the International Olympic Committee has now endorsed this cynical propaganda scheme,” said Konchok Yangphel, who was born in Tibet but fled to India to escape China’s oppression. “Tibetans will keep up our struggle long after the Beijing Olympics have ended, and we will never give up until we stand as free people on Tibetan soil.”
The two men detained for protesting at the Indo-Tibet border today are part of the March to Tibet coordinated by five leading Tibetan NGOs that set out from Dharamshala on March 10th - the same day when the most recent uprising throughout Tibet began in the Tibetan capital Lhasa. On June 4th, following a 13-day standoff with hundreds of Indian police at their camp at Baanspatan, 265 Tibetans on the march were arrested at Berinag, approximately 150 kilometers from the Indo-Tibet border area in Uttarakhand state. On June 17th, the final 50 Tibetan marchers were arrested at Dharchula, the last Indian township before the Tibetan border.
At 6:30 am today 21 Tibetans were arrested in Reckong Peo in Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh, located approximately 100 km from the Indo-Tibet border post. The detainees have started a hunger strike in jail, refusing to eat and drink until they are released and allowed to continue the march. Another 10 were arrested in Rampur later in the morning. Yesterday seven others were arrested in Pooh (also spelt Puh) which is the last Indian township before entering Tibet. Pooh is located 35 km from the Indo-Tibet border post at Shipkila.
Tibetans living in exile in India launched the March to Tibet as part of the Tibetan People’s Uprising Movement. On the same day that the march was launched, monks from monasteries in Lhasa, as well as in eastern Tibet, led nonviolent demonstrations, shouting slogans supporting the Dalai Lama and independence for Tibet. Chinese authorities brutally suppressed peaceful protests that continued for days, leading to rioting in the capital and a wave of large public demonstrations that have rippled across the country. The March to Tibet and the Tibetan People’s Uprising Movement aim to revive the spirit of the Tibetan National Uprising of 1959, and engage in nonviolent direct action to bring about an end to China’s illegal occupation of Tibet.
BEING
IMAGINED
(An interpretation)* By
Martin Buber
The free person is one who wills without arbitrary self-will.
One who believes in destiny, and believes that it stands in need of him or her.
It does not keep one in leading-strings (following clues), it awaits
and, you must go to it, yet do not know where it is to be found.
But you know that you must go out with your whole being. The matter
will not turn out according to your decision; but what is to come
will come only when you decides on what you are able to will. One must
sacrifice one's puny, unfree will, that is controlled by things and
instincts, to the grand will, which quits defined (things) for destined
being. Then, you intervenes no more, but at the same time you doe
not let things merely happen. You listens to what is emerging from
your Higher Self, to the course of being in the world; not in order to be
supported by it, but in order to bring it to reality as it desires.
I am enough of an artist to freely draw on my imagination
Imagination is more important that knowledge
Knowledge is limited
Imagination encircles the world
Your imagination is your preview of life’s coming attractions
He experiences himself, his thoughts and his feeling as something separated from the rest. A kind of optical illusion of his consciousness.
This delusion is a sort of prison for us restricting us to our personal desires and to affection to a few people close to us.
Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures an the whole of Nature in its beauty.
Albert Einstein
Neither
the King James Bible
nor Alter's translation of the Pentateuch
expresses a detail of the Hebrew text which has been pointed out
by Robert Graves and Raphael Patai: in the second verse of Genesis,
the word "rauch," is the phrase "rauch elohim"
(translated as
"Spirit of God" in the old version), is a feminine word.
Thus the spirit of the Lord is, in name at least, a female spirit."

From
Anselm in Switzerland
Dear
Isaiah and Elena, I have been very happy to get your answer to my
questions. But not the questions nor the answers add anything to
my belief in the necessity to live love and to give it as far as
possible to all living creatures. At best they [the answers] are
a confirmation, with the danger
of a distraction. And for this message you give me in our session
I shall
be grateful forever.
Nevertheless I meet people who haven't yet the same belief and who
prefer rational or historical arguments for the loss of love between
human beings on earth and the need of return to it to become really
free,
even if there wasn't ever really a separation from God and from
Love and
even if there is only the illusion of a separation. ~ Anselm
~
After years of dealing with the inertia factor I have finally awoken
Now
I have the courage of conviction. I have come to rest in the Immortal
moment and all the powers of creation are supporting my every intention.
I have escaped from the nightmare of separation
from True Love.
This
is story of the Victory of Immortal Love over Finite Folly. It is
about bringing the Magic to everyone on Earth. This is a new day
of wonder and surprise. The old dreams are over; the old game is
over.
+It is a fact, that we have to release everything that we were,
in order to appreciate what [and who] we are. Living in regret and
continually airing the stories of the Past keep us from experiencing
all that the present time has to offer.
There
is fulfillment right here if we care to access it. We don't need
to reach out to any other experience. We don't have to force or
push our way to true happiness. It is time to fully appreciate this
moment. It is time to stop
speculating, thinking of the past and future, and create with a
focus on Now and our intuition. The Connection with Perfection is
inside everyone.
It's
Re-creation time on Planet earth. Time to birth new frontiers of
consciousness. Every moment there is another chance to experience
the breath of Love. Every second is a precious opportunity to let
love love us. Now is our chance to explore the infinite varieties
and ways of Love's pleasure through
seeing, touching, tasting and feeling the ecstasy that creates the
worlds.
There
is a hidden treasure trove inside us. True Riches. We are truly
gifted. All that we have to do is to express Love and Bliss in our
everyday lives, and resist the temptation to express limitation
in any way. In this way we access unlimited Love .This is the Real
Nature of consciousness.
It
is time for us to shine as never before. We are here to accomplish
great things. We are here to explore the amazing Magic of interaction
with each other, from the Heart.
Interacting
freely with people and events on a Divine level, is the cause of
immense Bliss. The Bliss of seeing God / Goddess shine through the
immense darkness that has enshrouded us, and continues to bewilder
the vast majority of humanity. The Bliss of seeing us rise from
the dead and stale world of selfishness, and enter once more into
the Communion of the Whole. The Unity of the Unlimited. We are here
to sing the Cosmic Anthems of Eternal Love together. We are here
to restore the original unity of Being.
Despite
the immense trials and tribulations that occur in the World of Unconsciousness,
we are breaking through. We are Allies as we journey into the
unknown, and release the dead weight of the past.
As
we rise from the morass that the Ego has created for this Planet,
we are co-creators instead of slaves. Our spirits are being geared
to creativity, instead of
indulgence and complaining. We are re-learning the ways of this
Magical Universe, and it's powers of Renewal. We are manifesting
Unconditional Love.
It is
Time to open the book of Real love and Consciousness. Today is the
stage of new life. We are stepping out to create the most extravagant
epic ever created. This is the time when we dance in unison. In
Paradise Ballroom. This is the time for us all to play together
forever and ever. Each day is the perfect opportunity to rise every
morning, and join in with the exuberance of true creation. It is
time to write a new chapter.
It
behooves us to keep creating Art no matter what. True Art is a manifestation
of our Eternally free nature, and our powers of self reflection.
Art is a demonstration of our Eternal Beauty, and it's power to
illuminate. Art is our liberator. Let us all be the Artists of our
own fate, instead of fated to oblivion by forces outside ourselves.
It
is time for us to take real responsibility, for our own sake and
that of others.
Let us rise in Love and trust, to the pinnacle of human achievement
and beyond. We are only just beginning to see the magnificence of
who we truly are, what we can become, and what it means to be true
to the Real Truth, not the lies that others would have us live.
Our
lives are a Love affair with Love its self. It happens when we truly
remember our real self, instead of the puny and inconsequential
ego that keeps us
prisoners of a relative world. The latter has been our ally in the
past because it served to break down ego patterning, but it is time
to proceed.
Our
awareness is causing the fabric of space and time to exist in a
different way. Instead of projecting from a place of limitation
we are coming from Freedom. Instead of relying on the future to
bring us comfort, we are awakening to the Present. The Present that
is the gift of life.
Instead
of complaining, we are learning how to appreciate. Instead of asking
we are receiving. Instead of complaining we are thanking. An attitude
of gratitude pays the greatest of dividends. Complaint blocks the
flow of Grace.
While
we are busy denigrating, we cannot hear the still small voice which
urges us to Wonder, and to contemplate the amazing feats of Cosmic
engineering
responsible for even the smallest flower. We are truly in a Universe
of unparalleled magnificence and opportunity.
We
are changing events by the way we relate to this World. We must
now put the greatest dream into the path of actuality. Our souls
are rising up to take part in the Real Play. We are seeing the birth
of the Divine Celebration on Earth .The Master/Mistress of Creative
Arts is urging us to balance upon the high wire of opportunity,
and to transcend limited action in order to bring Peace and Unconditional
Love to the Planet. It is Time to think from our hearts. We have
to be impeccable and come from our highest nature, for we have been
gifted beyond measure. This is the fulfillment that life urges us
to receive. This is the motive force that makes this dream achieve
reality.
Peace
is here in every human heart. All that we need is to bear witness
to this, and to see the spark of Divine life manifesting in everyone,
even the villains of the plot. Forgiveness is one of the keys to
sanity. As soon as we release all the hurt caused by others we enter
into our true home again, the inviolate heart where Peace is Eternal.
+We are causing the Eternal to become known. The poetic images that
we are creating through song and story are opening up a plethora
of probabilities and possibilities. We are seeing with the eyes
of wonder and delight. We are singing in our hearts once again.
We are moving from feeling the victims of circumstance, into reclaiming
the Beloved planet, and Unconditional Life. We are starting to understand
the center of no time. We are painting pictures of the Perfect.
Our
love and passion for life and each other is causing a reversal of
fortune. We are starting to see what the early pioneers saw, the
Grand Adventure. Our Grand Adventure is making a resting place for
Eternal love. We are awakening dormant secrets of time that reveal
this Immortal Love. The future of the future is panoramic
Together,
our family, in concert with all our families and their families
are starting to ring the chimes of Freedom. The Freedom to be, in
this moment, the passion of God/Goddess Ecstasy. The Freedom to
have Eternal
consummation and satisfaction Now.
It
isTime to walk together Now, in the Magic that we are. It is Time
to uncover the super erotic nature of reality, and bring True Love
back to this World of
confusion. We are here to BE in Love. Polymorphous Love is our birthright.
It
is easy to let go if we live in the moment, and concentrate on being
here, instead of any other time. True realization in life is letting
go of control, and
allowing events to unfold naturally. Moving in this energy brings
the joy and happiness inherent in our true being. Let the Magic
of Now play out. Let go of the illusory past and future. This moment
is manifested for us to enjoy and engage in the greatest Game, that
of Universal Love for all. In this way we serve the Planet and ourselves
in a Real way. It is time to heal the great divorce and institute
the real marriage.
All
that we need to do is to share from the deepest place in our hearts.
All that we need to do is to share from the unique perspective of
fulfillment. Each
moment is a breath of love. Each moment an experience of the Gift
of Love. We are co-creating a future of endless satisfaction and
joy for all, by being happy now. We can sing together, play together
in the Elysian fields of Eternal beauty, on a new and renewed earth.
Everyone can learn how to cultivate flowers of consciousness, and
sow the Earth with blossoms of Eternal Love for all.
It
is up to us to make being in the body as joyful as possible. This
Life was created out of Love's joy. It is a unique experience of
many factors that come
together to create this beautiful body, so that we can experience
the ecstasy of being alive, and the fun of it. It is time to place
value on those things which
give us the maximum pleasure in life. Our bodies were designed to
experience pleasure not endless suffering. Playing the Game from
this perspective leads to health, abundance and vitality. Life Loves
to express itself through us in every way that feels good. It reminds
us of who we truly are.
Be
a Lover of all life and Ecstasy. Ecstasy reveals Divinity. Life
makes love constantly. Wherever you may be you can see feel this,
if you stop and pay attention. We are living in the Ecstatic ground
of Being, just stop listen, see and feel the ballet, beautifully
choreographed by Nature.
Translate Ecstasy into everyday. Whatever you are doing do it well.
Make the coming year and the promise it holds an opportunity to
create Heaven wherever you are. Let others know you as a Lover not
a fighter. Let them see you as a figure of amazing compassion and
Bliss.
We
are all a star, especially created to light up the this world. Incredible
power comes through us when we release our capacity of Unlimited
love for all. We
are the manifestation of ultimate beauty. Eternity gazes from our
eyes upon time.
